I give her credit for being right about this. No matter how she votes she’s screwed.
Look. She’s made up her mind just like the other 99. She DOESN’T support Gorsech but she will VOTE to confirm. The only way she will change her vote is if it’s ok politically to do so.
McCaskill won 6 years ago by carefully selecting her opponent, a dummie who could not win a general election and spent several millions of dollars to help him win the primary. She wiped the floor with him. 12 years ago she enjoyed an evenly divided electorate in Missouri and squeeked out a win. No such luck this year, but she has decided that she can win with the combination of Kansas City, St. Louis, and Columbia voters and win yet again. I don’t think that it will happen.
However, Hawley better check his bed every night to make sure that there is no dead woman or live boy hiding under the sheets with Claire outside the bedroom with a TV crew.
Her focus groups have told her that if she tries to lynch Kavanaugh like she did with Gorsuch, that will cost her voters and supporters.
She knows they are not evenly split...
She also knows she will likely lose re-election either way...
Sounds to me like she’s laying the ground work to negotiate the best outcome from the democrats after she’s voted out,
She’ll vote against as long as the dem leadership make sure she’s set up for life for it
She’s an ultra liberal masquerading as a moderate. I really hope she loses in November. Bill Nelson is another who fits this description in a red state.
At least Donnelly in Indiana and Heitkamp in North Dakota really are fairly moderate. McCaskill certainly isn’t.
